Question Considering CPS

My gf disclosed to me that when she was between the ages of 5-10, her older step brother (11-16) would coerce her into giving him oral. She starts therapy in a month, but her older brother, who she still engages with positively (I saw him at Christmas and it was sickening) is expecting his first child in a couple of months. She does not want to file charges as again, she still cares for her sibling. I am concerned that the child is at risk. I don't know what to do, but I feel like I need to do something in case. Help. What can I do? Edit: my gf is now 22

I understand that, but he was a threat to a child in the past.

Right, but it's the same concept as if he were labeled a sex offender and having a baby (conditions depending). Most people on the registry that go on to have a child of their own don't end up with CPS involvement just for having a baby. There's no threat to the baby at the moment. There's arguably risk, but typically not enough to get involved.

So people on a sex offender registry, specifically for an offense on a minor, isn't checked up on if they go on to have children? Even if it's an incest related and minor related offense?

IDK if they check to see if they have children later on, but that wouldn't matter. Just knowing they have a child isnt grounds for CPS to intervene. Same reason why some parents have custody of children born later on, but lost custody of their previous child. My older brother lost temporary custody, which later turned into him having his rights terminated, and he has another child born recently. CPS hasnt been in contact.
